Midnight.Darkness everywhere.And even more worse?A blackout.Sakumi turned her head towards the clock and started shifting around to get out of the hospital bed.Tonight was the day.No matter how difficult it would truly be Sakumi would train to be worthy of the genin title.Maybe something even better.And know what?Fuck the rules.Sakumi grabbed her forehead protector and adjusted it to her head.She stared at the window with truth seeking eyes.And confidence.She was too shy and she need to fix that.Dark green grass.Trees standing tall.It all took a process.Called change and adjustment.Sakumi wasn't a little kid anymore.She couldn't hide or avoid a fight if they attempted to kill her.The change of life was unavoidable and could never truly be avoided.
A new day.A new skill.A new life to live.Sakumi pulled a kunai from her backpack and traced a finger across the blade gently.After pulling it back a bit, she thought for a moment."What am I doing?"Sakumi thought, stunned at herself for that moment.Several seconds later a large crash appeared and most of the nurses went to investigate instantly."Where the hell is Chuia Sakumi!?"A nurse screamed in fear.She could have been kidnapped.Killed...or worst!Where the hell was she?!"Leave her alone...if you wanted to prove yourself you'd want to be contained away from the world as long as you can,"One of the nurses said as she passed by the door and left with the candle glowing brightly in front her.The nurse came back a placed the candle down on the bedside table Sakumi occasionally used.She looked at the shattered window and smiled slightly.Sakumi would come back when she felt like it.
Sakumi cried as she edged on through the forest past the hospital.Jumping over logs and rocks as she sped along.Skidding to a stop Sakumi suddenly stopped and stared ahead of her.A large pond in front of her.She stepped forward and jumped back slightly as a single light flew towards her.Sakumi reached out a finger, for the light to land on.It landed gently and tickled her finger slightly.A firefly...and a small one.Sakumi gently patted it's back and it stayed still."All alone huh?I understand...sometimes things just don't go right..."Sakumi gently cooed as she sat and continued petting it.
The light gently got off and gently flew away.'What is it doing?'Sakumi thought as the bug tracked through the grass blade tips.The bug landed on a single piece of glass and seemed to liven the nighttime pond with light as millions of other fireflies shot up.Sakumi instantly put on a smile as they fill the area around her.She took off her sandals and got up on the tips of her toes happily.She gently danced among the bugs.A few twists and turns.Circling and bending.Slow arm movements.It was peaceful to dance with them.Suddenly the bugs landed and Sakumi felt her sadness renew.
A now somewhat familiar light zipped towards her before attaching itself to her.Several more followed until it was a giant formation of beautiful bugs.Sakumi felt invincible.Like she could do anything.Sakumi pulled up both her arms and held them in front her calmly.With quick speed, she flicked them away from her gently.They flew away happily and landed back to where they were originally resting.Yet a single bug still clung to Sakumi, not yet wanting to get away from her.It seemed to leap away from her, glowing brightly.As it flew to a patch of plants.Well, two to be honest.A pack of Amaryllis and a pack of White Roses.
Amaryllis...a symbol of shyness and pride...White Roses...a sign of innocence, devotion, and silence.Which would she pick?The one that meant shy and pride?Or the one of innocence, devotion, silence?Red vs White.Sakumi closed her eyes and spun around a few times, to mess up her orientation.She searched for a flower and picked one.She stared at the one she had picked.A White Rose.She smiled.She adjusted it to her hair and got up.Devotion.She had that before this flower and surely after her amazing graduation.
"I will become Hokage...but only if I try and have the true confidence I desire,," Sakumi said as she picked the other flower and headed to the stream.She put it into the water and smiled.Sakumi pulled off her dress and left her T-shirt and sweat pants on.She leaped into the water and swam backward.Not a care in the entire world.Nature.Sure it changed.That was called geology.Humans changed.That was called life.She was living life at the moment and she wasn't willing to let go of it.She would fight every fight like it was her last.No matter how tough.No matter how much mercy she was willing to give in the end.She would survive.And she will try...no she will truly live.Truly be who she wanted to be.A calm...collective Hokage who would do anything for her village.Her true family and loved ones.
